Description

We are currently travelling across Europe to Turkey in a campervan.

Tilly:I am a qualified nurse and yoga teacher. I enjoy spending time outdoors and in nature, whether that's through hiking, rock climbing, camping, or wild swimming. I have spent the last 5 years travelling worldwide in India, Asia, Central and South America, and the USA, with my partner Josh. We have experienced many different cultures, foods and ways of life. We have spent extended periods of time volunteering in the USA on organic farms, learning about permaculture, biodynamic farming, and all processes of plant growth. I am a fast learner and hard worker, and am enthusiastic and passionate about expanding my knowledge and gaining further experience in the farming environment, in the hopes of one day owning my own land.

Josh:I have been travelling and working over the past 10 years, during my time at home I have worked in agriculture, arboriculture and in education. I feel very passionate about a world where food isn’t an issue and everyone can eat well. In my opinion organic farming and small scale production is the way to make this dream a reality. Whilst travelling I have been very lucky to have participated in the Workaway programme in India on a farm run by 2 scientists, one, a published doctor of botany and the other a published doctor of microbiology. During my time here I learnt about inoculating soil with fungi and bacteria cultured on site, this inspired me to delve deeper into the microbiological world. This past year I volunteered on a farm in the U.S and learnt about good irrigation practices for optimal microbial growth, harvesting by the biodynamic calendar and implementing an organic pest management programme. In my spare time myself and Tilly are rock climbers, we have done this all over the world and love the freedom it gives us to explore quiet, nature centric areas. I love flavours and creating different dishes based on the fresh ingredients available at hand. I'm currently looking to become more experienced in the day to day running and organisation of a farm, as well as expanding my knowledge of soil regeneration.
